Sources for the PerkinElmer Luminescence Spectrometers are pulsed Xenon discharge lamps (7.3 W average power at 50 Hz). This reliable source produces very little ozone or heat but provides remarkable sensitivity due to its peak intensity exceeding 1 KW! On most LS Series instruments the detector electronics are controlled so that delay and gate time can be varied to measure phosphorescence between source pulses.

Overview

To maintain the original stability and sensitivity of your instrument, use only PerkinElmer replacement lamps. We recommend that you have your Xenon source replaced by a PerkinElmer Service Engineer (not included in the prices for the lamps).

NOTICE
Installation of a new lamp by a PerkinElmer Service Engineer is recommended for two reasons:
